Knotting the thread

  Video

Tying on two thread ends is often used for changing a needle thread or looper thread. Keep the knotted area as little as possible to reduce friction in the thread path.

NOTICE

Pulling a Thread Tie through the Needle Eye

The needle can be bent. A bent needle affects the stitch formation.

  1. Cut the tie in front of the needle eye and thread the needle individually.
  1. Form a loop with the black thread.
  2. Thread the red thread end through the thread loop from below.
  3. Pull the red thread underneath both black threads and guide it through the loop from above.
  4. Hold one thread end of each colour and pull them apart.
